Remove TFS mappings

Question

I am using Visual Studio 2015. Initially I installed TFS 2013 on my local machine with source control mappings to my local User folder. After some time there was a need to include some more developers to my project so I installed TFS 2013 on a server running Windows Server 2012.

Then I UnBind my solution from local TFS and tried to add it to the TFS on the server. But it was only taking my local TFS, so I uninstalled TFS from my local machine. But then again when I tried to add my solution to the TFS on server, it gives the error shown in the image.

Then I removed my workspaces as mentioned in MSDN here and here and then restarted my local machine but the error is still there.

Although I am creating the new workspace with exactly same name and place but when I have removed the older workspace and TFS from my local machine, wouldn't the error be removed!

May be TFS marked the workspaces somewhere in Computer registry but I don't know it. Kindly help me to solve this issue.

AWAIS is my local machine name

awais:8080/tfs was my older TFS that was on my local machine but I already uninstalled it

• You can use tf command-line to remove old workspace which clears cache as well:

  tf workspaces /remove:* /collection:http://awais:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection

• If it does not work, try removing from your connections on Team Explorer, deleting the local folder and clearing your cache
• Use TFS Sidekicks to track the workspace, it is a great tool to manage the workspaces.
